Chapter 234 Progress of All Parties

"Mr. Zefa, this is the list and information of all the new recruits for this training camp. They have all been investigated by the Intelligence Department, and it is difficult for spies from all parties to infiltrate them."

Pergamon held a document in his hand and handed it to Zephyr who was sitting at the desk.

Zefa didn't know when he started wearing a pair of glasses. It was a habit he developed due to working too much recently.

"Well, are there any particularly outstanding ones you think?"

"After checking with these new recruits one by one, I have indeed found that some of them have extraordinary talents and are capable of becoming strong."

Hearing Pergman's answer, Zefa's eyes narrowed, as if he was not satisfied with the answer:

"Pergman, you must remember that the purpose of our Navy Elite Training Camp is to continuously train outstanding talents and even generals for the Navy. In this process, qualifications are indeed important, but what is more important than qualifications is whether one has a sincere heart of justice!"

“Are we going to train a group of ugly officers who only have the power of violence but cannot even protect civilians?”

Pergamon's expression turned serious, and he immediately realized his mistake:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zefa, I'm too superficial. A sense of justice is indeed the primary condition for judging a marine. I will seriously implement it in my future work in the training camp!"

"Oh, by the way, Pergamon, tell me about those talented recruits you were just about to mention."

"Yes!"

"The first one to be hit, I think, is Sakaski from the North Sea. He..."

"Sister He, I want to go out and kill pirates. I don't want to continue doing those statistics work in this training camp."

Gion shook Vice Admiral Tsuru's arm pitifully. For this favored girl, she would only show such a willful and arrogant attitude in front of her closest people like Tsuru or Lex.

In front of most of the navy, Rear Admiral Gion is the most talented, the coldest, and the most decisive naval commander.

"Well, the pirates in the Grand Line are not rampant recently. The navies of each branch are more than capable of handling them. The focus of the headquarters is on the world recruitment. You are in charge of the most important elite training camp. You are Zephyr's deputy. Your attitude is the most irresponsible to the work of the headquarters."

"But--but there's too much work. I still think going out to sea to arrest pirates will better advance the work of the headquarters."

"Well, do you want to go to that sea? Forget about the Four Seas. There is no need for your level of combat power there. Paradise's level of combat power cannot give you good experience. After eating the mythical beast, your strength cannot be improved by fighting with these ordinary pirates. If you don't stay with Zephyr and learn from him, where do you want to go?"

Hearing Tsuru's harsh refusal, Gion made a bitter face. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she asked tentatively:

"How about... the New World? There are many strong pirates there, which is just right for people like me who are stuck in a bottleneck."

"..."

He took a deep breath and gave Gion a cold look:

"Go to your backyard? Do you think any pirate in the New World would dare to attack you with all their strength?"

"Hey~"

"Okay, stop being so impatient every day. Although you are young, being young doesn't necessarily mean you have to be so energetic. You should calm down and do one thing seriously. In this regard, you should learn from your man Lex."

"Eh? ~Learn from him? Then I will just age 30 years and enter middle age early."

"Haha, okay, stop talking nonsense. I will talk to Zefa and reduce some of the clerical work you are not good at, so that you can participate more in the training courses for new recruits. Is that okay?"

Although he did not agree to Gion's request to sail, Tsuru still loved his sister very much. Within the scope of his reasonable authority, he would give Gion the greatest care.

"Okay!~"

"By the way, do you know what Lex has been busy with recently? There are a lot of important documents piled up in the government, and they should all be signed by him as the executive prime minister, but he can't be found."

Vice Admiral Tsuru unknowingly brought the topic to Lex, seemingly asking about those internal government documents that no one had signed, but in fact he was trying to find out Lex's movements through Gion.

After all, you feel uneasy all over when you don't know what the biggest source of chaos in the world is doing.

Lex doesn't really move much normally.

But any action he took would definitely not be small. Take the huge war at the end of 1489 and the Pentleras World Expo in the summer of 1490 as examples. They were both huge events that shocked the world and covered the whole world.

As Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff and Director of Intelligence of the Naval Headquarters, knows more inside information that ordinary people don't know. He also knows about many conspiracies that Lex is secretly involved in.

That's why Crane is more concerned about Lex's every move.

People are very contradictory. Tsuru's love for her adopted sister Gion is not purposeful or utilitarian, but her wariness of Lex and her desire to learn about Lex's movements through Gion are also real.

A woman who can become a naval think tank is not only a kind and just beautiful lady, but also a qualified chief of staff with strategy and intentions.

When Gion heard Tsuru asking him about Lex's whereabouts, his expression remained unchanged, and he was still smiling and looking silly, but his heart was instantly filled with a myriad of thoughts.

As Lex's only woman, she knew that Lex was currently training on the moon, and Lex did not specifically remind Gion not to reveal his whereabouts, but Gion was not stupid, so how could he possibly tell the truth:

"He, huh~ The World Expo hasn't even ended yet, but he sent me back to Marinford and ran back to the West Sea to have fun alone! He clearly said he would accompany me until the end of the World Expo, huh!~"

Lieutenant General He understood and nodded slightly:

"Oh, is that so?"

"By the way, Gion, when you learn from Zephyr, you must first focus on Haki. Although your strength is no longer that of a rookie, and you have even eaten the mythical beast, the Fallen Angel, you must remember that Haki is the foundation, and swordsmanship is yours. The fruit gives you a broader sky, but Haki and swordsmanship are the heavy earth."

"Look at the top masters like Red Earl, Golden Lion, Shanuo, Roy, and even Lex. Although they are all masters of fruit, their domineering swordsmanship is extremely powerful. You should know this better than me."

"I know, Sister He. Lex often says so too. I will pay attention. Swordsmanship is what I pursue. Lex let me eat the fruit."

At the same time, Rex, mentioned by Tsuru and Gion, is currently training on the distant moon in outer space.

"Armament Haki is the embodiment of a strong will. Those with strong Armament Haki have wills as strong as steel. Physical strength is important, but even for a monster like Charlotte Linlin, Armament Haki may not be that strong. Barrett, your Armament Haki talent is unprecedented. You must cherish this talent that you have gained through the war of blood and fire."

In the eyes of Lex and the Red Earl, the reason why Barrett has such a high talent for Armament Haki is not only because of his strong genes and tough physique, but also because of the war experience he had since childhood.

How strong must the will of a boy who blossomed in war, betrayal, blood and fire, a legendary boy who became a "national hero" at the age of 13 be?

Similarly, people like Garp, Zephyr, Fate, and Sora who have achieved great accomplishments in Armament Haki are also steadfast people with a heart full of justice.

In a word, the stronger the will, the further the armed color can go.

"Yes, Mr. Lex."

"Also, you can try to refine your Armament Haki. Don't just pursue excellence in 'quantity', but also focus on 'quality' strength."

"Mr. Lex, can you give me a demonstration? I have also tried to compress my Armament Haki, but it didn't work very well. I just felt like my body was compressed like a spring."

"That's because you haven't found the method that suits you best. There's no set methodology for refining your domineering aura. Everyone's domineering aura is different. I can only try my best to guide you along the path that suits you best."

"look--"

Lex pulled out Wanqing Yukong, and the armed color slowly attached to the blade. The dark black flowing domineering aura had a hint of blue, which looked like a dark blue domineering aura. The next moment -

The domineering aura on Wan Qing Yukong suddenly flowed rapidly, turning into a layer of black-blue crystals, flashing with metallic luster.

The Red Earl was watching from the side, and suddenly, he also drew out his umbrella sword, attached with the same armament color domineering as Lex, except that it was the Red Earl's black and red crystal.

Barrett stared at the top domineering aura on the two swords, and gradually he understood something in his heart.
